git-wtree

Several naive (ba)sh-shortcuts for git worktree subcommand.

Overview

Creation of git worktrees and switching between them is quite verbose thing to do for my regular use-cases. git-wtree is intended to simplify this routine. This one is a simple shell script supposed to be sourced inside of a shell. It was intentionally developed in a shell-agnostic way (no bashishm's are used) but tested with bash only and git 2.18.0.

Installation

Inside of ~/.bashrc:

# The comment for the line below could be removed to establish short aliases for provided commands
# GIT_WTREE_ALIAS_ENABLED=true

. git-wtree/git-wtree.sh

Usage

Inside of git repository where worktrees are supposed to be intensively used:

git config --local worktree.root <ROOT_DIR>

where <ROOT_DIR> is a directory where all worktrees are created and removed from.

Create worktree

git_wtree_cmd_new --name <BRANCH_NAME> --dir <DIR>

# alias:
git.wtree:ls --name <BRANCH_NAME> --dir <DIR>

where:

• <BRANCH_NAME> is name of the branch to be created;
• <DIR> is name of directory inside of <ROOT_DIR>

vs native git worktree add -b <BRANCH_NAME> <ROOT_DIR>/<DIR>.

Delete worktree

```bash
git_wtree_cmd_drop --name <BRANCH_NAME>
# alias:
git.wtree:drop --name <BRANCH_NAME>
```

where <BRANCH_NAME> is a name of the branch to be deleted.

vs native git worktreee remove <FULL_PATH_TO_DIR_OF_BRANCH_NAME>

List branches inside worktrees

git_wtree_cmd_ls
# alias:
git.wtree:ls

vs native git worktree list and futher grepping for a branch name.

Switch to a worktree dir

git_wtree_cmd_tool_cd <BRANCH_NAME>
# alias:
git.wtree:cd <BRANCH_NAME>

git_wtree_cmd_tool_pushd <BRANCH_NAME>
# alias:
git.wtree:pushd <BRANCH_NAME>

vs native git worktree list, grepping and furhter cd/pushd execution.
